Privat Badland-tur
Beskrivelse
En af de ting, der gør det at rejse i Alberta til en så speciel oplevelse, er, at landskaberne er så forskellige. Hjem til Canadian Rockies, Horsethief Canyon, Hoodoos, Horseshoe Canyon og Alberta Badlands, der er så meget skønhed i denne provins og så mange ting at lave i Alberta. Hvis du leder efter dramatiske landskaber, smukke vandreture, seje byer og en utrolig forhistorisk historie med dinosaurer, er Alberta Badlands et godt sted at tage hen. Samlet omtalt som Canadian Badlands, strækker det sig mere end 35.000 kvadratkilometer. To af de mest berømte steder er byen Drumheller og Dinosaur Provincial Park.

Rejseplan
Drumheller er en by nordøst for Calgary i Alberta, Canada. I udkanten af byen, i Midland Provincial Park, indeholder Royal Tyrrell Museum en stor samling af dinosaurfossiler.
Horseshoe Canyon i Canadian Badlands er et iøjnefaldende syn. Stå på kanten af denne enorme u-formede kløft og overvåg skønheden og mysteriet i de dårlige lande. De rødbrun-stribede kløftvægge afslører tidens lag ned til kridtperioden, hvor dinosaurer strejfede rundt i et frodigt subtropisk habitat for omkring 70 millioner år siden.
Hoodoos tager millioner af år at danne og bliver 5 til 7 meter høje. Hver hoodoo er en sandstenssøjle, der hviler på en tyk base af skifer, der er dækket af en stor sten. Hoodoos er meget skrøbelige og kan erodere fuldstændigt, hvis deres dæksten løsnes.
East Coulee er beliggende langs Red Deer River, omgivet af det unikke smukke landskab kendt som Canadian Badlands. Kun få minutter fra Drumheller er det et roligt sted og et velkomment tilflugtssted fra det moderne livs stress og jag. Frokostpause - frokost for egen regning.
Denne hængebro er ikke særlig lang eller særlig høj, men den er bestemt ikke for sarte sjæle. Den er lavet af gennemsigtigt trådnet og svajer som et flodrør i vinden. Broen blev brugt af minearbejdere fra 1931 til 1957; du kan se de nu lukkede miner på den anden side af Red Deer River. Trods tidligere brug af robåde og svævebaner, blev broen anset for farlig på grund af kraftig vind og oversvømmelser og er blevet lukket, da den anses for farlig at bruge.

Royal Tyrrell Museum i Drumheller er Canadas eneste museum, der udelukkende er dedikeret til videnskaben om palæontologi. Ud over at huse en af verdens største udstillinger af dinosaurer., tilbyder museet en bred vifte af kreative, sjove og uddannelsesmæssige programmer, der bringer den forhistoriske fortid til live.
Horsethief Canyon er et must-see, mens du udforsker Canadian Badlands. Stå på kanten for en spektakulær udsigt over dalen nedenfor. Hvis du føler dig eventyrlysten, så gå ned ad den stejle sti og udforsk canyonen, der er opkaldt efter de fredløse, der gemte deres stjålne husdyr her for mere end 100 år siden.
Orkney Viewpoint er en populær turistattraktion, der tilbyder en fantastisk udsigt over Red Deer River Valley.
Calgary, en kosmopolitisk by i Alberta med talrige skyskrabere, skylder sin hurtige vækst sin status som centrum for Canadas olieindustri.

Harry was an amazing tour guide. It was below freezing all day, but he brought us to the best places and kept us warm. He has wide knowledge and is very invested in his clients having a great time.
First looks at the horseshoe canyon were great but then the tour became repetitive. Attractions advertised in the tour description were closed on Mondays including the Dinosaur Park museum. No refreshments were provided on an 8-9hr tour so on top of the $800 plus to book it became a very expensive outing to see very little. Guide was also not very well informed.
Had an absolutely amazing time! The only reason I gave it a 4/5 was because the driver didn't seem very familiar with the schedule or when places are open/closed. I say this because we did miss going to the mining museum. They were closing when we drove up and the driver hassled the museum guides as they were leaving for the day, which we told him not to do. They were clearly closed and it wasn't their fault and telling them "I have a van full of people wanting to go in," was awkward." The driver was a nice enough guy, but he should have run a timetable by us throughout the day to make sure we got to everything. Would still do it again, because it's worth not driving around all day back and forth from Calgary and all the other locations were fantastic.
Our driver and guide Henry was excellent. He showed us 7 main sights and attractions in and around the town plus going to a restaurant for lunch. Henry was friendly and courteous while giving us flexibility in times for each location. Thank you for a great day.
Wonderful day trip to the Badlands. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. Our 2 hours at the Royal Tyrell Museum was the highlight. I wish my grandchildren were with me because they would have loved it even more than I did. It was superb. The rest of the day was very good also with my favorites being the Hoo Doos and scenery of the badlands. Great tour.
Tour booked for 3 of us, visit to Tyrrell Dinosaurs was the highlight for us, but a rush with only 90 minutes instead of 120 minutes so very disappointed. The areas we visited were amazing and the Badlands with the different layers of time are something to see from the variety of viewpoints offered. The Hoodoos were strange, East Coulee offered history and dinosaurs seemed impossible!! Windows were obstructed with lettering so viewing and taking photos was difficult and again very disappointing. Driver very nice and friendly but not forthcoming or informative about the areas we visited - a glorified taxi service that I definitely would not recommend
Great service! Our driver was very nice and kind and took us to very beautiful places, the history museum and the horse shoe canyon are places that you need to visit at least once in your lifetime, Me and my family are overall very satisfied with this tour.
Driverseat guide, Shirle was a great and covered several places. the horse shoe canyon, dinasaur museum and hoodoo mountain are very educational. They are a must see.
Excellent day trip to the Badlands covered Tyrell’s Dinosaur Museum (best in the world), Horseshoe and Horse Thief Canyons, Hoodoos and much more. Driverseat (tour operator) went above and beyond our expectation. This is a really different day trip and well worth doing. Private transport and your own driver from Driverseat just make it even better.
